capitol in washington, d.c. and we are remembering the life and legacy of the late senator dianne feinstein, people dropping off flowers outside of her office, sharing stories about what they did and meant to her. and her legacy continues throughout the country and specifically in the bay area. she has made such an impact and she has left many things that will continue on and for that, let's go to lauren toms because there is a very special thing happening next week that she had a very large part in and i will let you share that. lauren? >> reporter: in true form, senator dianne feinstein working in the u.s. capitol up until the very end but her love and passion for san francisco can be seen in every corner of the city. the legacy of dianne feinstein can be seen across san francisco every day. >> my greatest obligation is to this city. >> reporter: a champion for the city, feinstein had a pattern of saving cherished traditions from cable cars on the hills to fleet week in the bay. >> how excited she would be, sh

i did have a conversation with a spokesperson for diane feinstein's office in washington, d.c. he said they had not made any plans for any kind of a memorial service just yet and unfortunately if there is a government shutdown, plans could be complicated for her office to help with those efforts if there is a government shutdown. reporting live at san francisco city hall, nbc bay area news. >> that certainly complicates things. we are hearing from one of the last people to see the late senator alive. former southern california congresswoman jane harman met with einstein at her dc home last night. they took this photo together as harman was leaving the private meeting in feinstein's study. >> i got to hug and kiss her and tell her i loved her. where do we start? i met her when she was mayor. she and i were elected to congress in the same year. we did parallel service certainly on intelligence 1992. we were close friends. i felt in her last years that she was unfairly treated and i was going to be sure that i did absolutely everything i could not just to show my love but to show

know, iowans are working really hard and it's such a different position than what we see here in washington, d.c. where, yet once again, congress as a body is not able to get its work done. and i think folks here in washington could really learn a lot from our hardworking iowans, and so this last friday, i tried something new. and i brought a lot of these washington, d.c. agents out to iowa for my first ever entrepreneur expo where we connected small businesses and individuals from the great state of iowa with those in government agencies to learn about contracting opportunities. we really wanted to develop our small businesses in iowa, and again, give them the shot at providing government, our federal government with their next best idea. >> well we saw that startling numbers i think from the august immigration i talked about that last illegal immigration i talked that last week. but this week we -- i also realized as i went to see what's called martinsburg initiative where west virginia all handle on deck preventive initiative to fight addiction in the addiction crisis. the numbers that were r

get them out of washington, d.c. washington, d.c. is 99.99% uber liberal. we have to get the swamp out of washington. speaking of d.c., how about we elect a president who uses the power of the presidency to reduce the power of the federal bureaucracy by 50%? our government is too big. i don't think our founders would have anticipated it. it is too bloated into unaccountable to the people. six of the wealthiest counties in the united states of america are suburbs of washington, d.c. are they doing anything great up there? what are they doing other than growing government? just a bunch of hot air. it is getting to the point it is too much. how about we elect a president of the united states who believes in term limits for members of congress and a balanced budget amendment for the constitution? we need new blood in washington. if we are expected as americans to balance our household budget, how about congress balance the budget once in a while? we need a president of the united states who shuts down our southern border. and a president of the united states wh

we are not doing washington, d.c. we are going to do my hometown and a place where we are, actively on shoring. they talk to everybody. we can talk about free speech and then chambers. but what i found is the polls. there were similar myths about what is going to happen to the u.s. economy if we air defendants and we are going to debunk a lot of and it will be the movement that reunites this country. a black light. the job of the next government and duly elected president is to put the interest of all americans first again, and i think that is something we can do to reunite the nation and i'm optimistic about what i see. >> i could not agree with you more and that is right.

he just flew into washington, d.c., last night. senator, welcome to democracy now! can explain what you plan to do in washington dc, and lay out what you see as julian assange's case. >> thank you, amy. we have a number of meetings with u.s. lawmakers, both in the congress and in the senate. we will also be meeting with the department of justice, the state department, with the australian consulate and ambassador, and a number of other stakeholders, doing media like i am now. the primary aim for our delegation, and it is cross party, is to let americans know, particularly those in power, that australians feel very strongly about this issue. we feel like julian assange has suffered enough. he has been incarcerated for nearly a decade. he was simply publishing the tree. he is an australian citizen. he won the highest award for journalism in australia. article have been published around the wikileaks disclosures. we feel is extradition process that is underway is a very dangerous global precedent for press freedoms. it is extraterritorial overreach by the u.s. government

i live in washington d.c.. i can say, not only is that the goal, but the people in washington d.c.really don't care what donald trump may post on social media about them. they have the ability to put things aside. listen, polling of a jury can try to find out so many things. if you've ever been on a jury, it sometimes doesn't have anything to do with what somebody thinks on them. i've been on a jury once where we reached a unanimous decision, except for one, who understood that the decision had to go the way that it did, not guilty, but was just like, i think he did it. but do you think the prosecutor made the case? no. but i think he did it. a holdout could be for any reason. this is a big case for prosecutors, as you pointed out. they have to shoot and not miss. so, the more information that they can get to prepare, the better. the more the defense can get in order to prepare their case, the better to. it's not necessarily nefarious. >> the prosecution to do this jury pulling to find out information. i only thought of it asymmetrically, as a defense move, jill. >> absolutely, the

so there will be tremendous stress in washington, d.c. government buildings of course, then the businesses and professional service firms that do business with the government, you'll see con contraction there. so d.c. is going to be worse than san francisco in terms of office fundamentals. >> wow with that bombshell for people to contemplate, we just -- the shutdown, i don't know if beyond that you make much of what is happening or if you are focused on any aspect of a drawn-out fight for years to come over the deficit and debt levels. >> i'm from washington, d.c., and i started our company in washington, d.c. we have done business there for almost 40 years. they've had shutdowns, they come and go they're political stunts, because they're brinksmanship. what happens is we are in a highly polarized political environment. you're going to see congress, you know, continue to battle so i think we will see a shutdown i think it will be short lived and i think the reality is the government needs to cut spending it cannot continue to rely on all

it such a different position than what we see here in washington, d.c., where yet once again, congresss a body is not able to get its work done. both here in washington. really learn a lot from our hard-working iowans. this last friday i tried something new, and i brought a lot of these washington, d.c. agencies out to iowa for my first ever entrepreneur expo, where we connected small businesses and individuals from the great state of iowa with those in government agencies to learn about contracting opportunities. we want to develop our small businesses in iowa. and again, give them a shot at providing our federal government with their next best idea. >> we saw the startling numbers from the august immigration. illegal immigration, i talked about that last week. this week, i also realized as i went to see what is called the mark kirk initiative in mark square, west virginia where it is an all hands on deck initiative to fight the addiction crisis. the numbers were 111,000 americans lost their lives to fentanyl overdoses last year. unfortunately leads that statistics, and our statistics

she passed away at her home in washington, d.c. at 90 years old. she died of natural causes with her daughter at her side. she was the longest-serving senator from our state and leaves behind a powerful legacy even failing calls to step down didn't stop her desire to finish her term. she cast her final ballot yesterday. today her colleagues in congress have a moment in her honor. backup but today at this time just hours since her passing, rather than talk about her, let us just pray that she rest in peace. >> at san francisco city hall, visitors signed well wishes. many are remembering her reputation as a dealmaker racking up a giant legacy of accomplishments. >> she sets the highest standard that most of us will never be able to match in every category. she was better prepared. she was more focused on issues that affected the lives of people that may not have had any political benefit to them and hers was not right along for tv purposes hers was right along to learn. >> it is nearly impossible to capture the full scope of the sender's career and t

[applause] i know that the agenda is something you are fighting and a lot of the parents and grandparents are also concerned about that. what can you do as president to push back and fight back. >> there's two sides to the job. there are policies the u.s. president should stand for isn't what i need to ask congress to do. repeal and replace obamacare. remember it didn't happen. one of the things i need to do as u.s. president, enforce the civil rights law as it exists on

jack smith as the judge to impose for rules on any polling of the washington d.c. jury pool that donald trump's defense lawyers might want to do. the proposed rules would require any pulling questions to be submitted to the judge for approval and for all polling to be completed in 30 days before jury selection would begin jack smith requested those rules in a brief passage, at the end of a 19-page motion. the first 17 pages of which, asked the judge to tell donald trump, finally, to shut up. the motion asks judge chutkan that -- to use a method that donald trump -- that donald trump is using a method that he tried to use to over turn the presidential election. the same method he is now using in this case, quote, to undermine confidence in the criminal justice system and prejudice the jury pool. jack smith's motion says, after election day on 2020, the defendant launched a disinformation campaign where he publicly and by the broadcast false claims that they had been outcome determinative fraud in the presidential election, and that he had actually won. in service of
